CATS Joomla Plugin issues
Message
 

We have setup the plugin but the top_jobs module is not displaying anything at all. Also when you click on a job description the url navigates to a blank page. The problem has to do with the id's it looks like. The article that cats is using has the following url:

index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=36&Itemid=189

When I click on a job it navigates to the following url:

index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=220982&Itemid=189&cc=show

if you notice that the article id is really off. When I fixed the url to show:

index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=36&Itemid=189&cc=show

I get the following error:

No Longer Exists

Update:
I am the developer for TowerStrides and I'm attaching a fix to this problem. The problem is that articles in joomla use id for content. So I replaced all references to id and changed it to catsid. It would of been a better idea to make this a component rather than a plugin. Also the modules only work on the cats content page and not anywhere else on the site. It would probably be a good idea for the developers to include this fix in the current download and fix the modules to work on any page.

Before doing anything back up the original files.
Download the attachment and rename from cats_fix.zip.txt to cats_fix.zip

Extracts the files to

plugins/content/catsjobsite/controllers

Now you will be able to show it in any article and not just an article on the home page.

I have figured out my problem but unfortunately the fix isn't straight forward. Seems that the current architecture only works if your jobs portal page is on the home page and not a menu item. It uses the reserved parameter id. so i found all reference and changed it to catsid since id is used by a joomla article. i hope the developers correct this.

Yeah, this was reported a little while back. We intend to have this corrected in the next release.

 

Thanks that fix helped... any news on an update for the Joomla extension? Anyone else have a fix for the cache issue I've seen in another post? Warning: file_put_contents(./cache/jobs.ser) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream
